 CITY MISSIONS.
 At the City mission rooms on Meadow street, the members of the Wonan's board had made abundant provision for a New Years entertainment for two hundred or more of the mission children and their friends. By 2 o'clock every seat was taken and under the charge of Mrs. s. M. Finken the exercises commenced. These consisted of singing, recitations and the repeating of passages of scripture by the children, short address by the superintendent, Rev. MT. Mosman, and the marching song by the chil- dren in closing. Especially worthy of com mendation were the recitatlons of ''The Rum sellers Pledge" by Annie Henniger, and 'sThe New Years Feast" verses written by Mrs. Jackson, of No. AS Webster street, and recited by her little daughter Gertie. At the piano Miss Oracle Burchell accompanied the singing which also had the helpful voices of

 The attendance at the Orphan asylum on Saturday was not as large as usual owing to the storm. The usual programme, however, was carried out, which the visitors well as the children heartily enjoyed. Seventy five Knights Templar with their usual New
 Years donation were present, accompanied by the American band, which volunteered for the occasion. Eminent Commander Ly- man H. Johnson passed over the donation in modest speech, which was eloquently responded to by General Merwin, on behalf of the lady managers of the asylum. Quite a number of ladies interested in the institu- tion were present, among whom were Mrs. Walter Leigh, Miss Florence Pardee, Mrs. Gilbert, Mrs. D. s. Thomas, Mrs. G. B. Bunnell and others. A little orphan girl sang a song for the visitors so finely as to elicit from visitor versed in music the opin- ion that with fair amount of training her voice could be rendered cue that would pay her as vocalist
 The weather was very unfavorable for the opening of the toboggan clubs slide. A few of the members of the club availed them selves of the opportunity and tried the slide late in the afternoon. Among the first to go down the slide were William P. Trowbridge, E. c. Bennett, J. T. Whittelsey and w. H. Hale.
 The toboggan was 8 big drawing card. Notwithstanding the weather and bad walk ing and wheeling not less than one thousaud persons visited the scene during the after noor, about three hundred of whom were in carriages. Also yesterday (Sanday) despite the freezing cold weather and the ''giare of ice" on the streets hundreds more visited the slide. At about three o'clock yesterday there must have been two hundred persons viewing the slide.

Early MamcInaticians.

Newton discovered the diTer5ntiaI
caculus in 1865.
In 1893 the first descriptive geome-
try was published in Paris by Prof.
Monge.
Hippaychus, III the second century
before Christ, and Ptolemy, i'll the
second century after Christ, applied
mathematics to astronomy.
Plato, about 800 B. c., invented the
study of comic sections, and through
these and the use of the analytic
method of demonstration he made
great advances in the science.
From about $50 to 1000 y, d, dur

The origin of geometry Is aScribed to

principles of geometry.

: The elements of geometry were com
piled by Euclid, $50 B. c. This author
introduced a device of reasoning that
. has been found very useful where
neither direct proof tth0 synthetic
methodl nor the analytic method could
be readily used; it consists improving
the truth of a proposition By assuring
it contrary to truth, and showing that
this implies logical absurdity.

Natural Afimicry.

Some insects have u deceptive reSem-
blance to members of the vegetable
world, either for the purpose of pro-
tecting themselves or for that of de-
coying their prey. But more won.
derful stimulation Is that of the feat
Ures of other insects.
There is in Borneo sand-wasp
which is addicted to the habit of
devouring crickets, but there is also a
species of cricket which exactly re-
produces the appearance OF its enemy,
so that it can even associate with 1t
undiscovered.
\ species OF mantis initiates the
white ant, and mixing with the family,
like one of its own members, quietly
devours a fat termite, from time to
time.
Flies often dwell as unbidden guests
in the nests and hives of wild honey
bees. They are belted and bearded in
the self-same pattern as their uncon-
scious hosts, but their larvae pay for
their hospitality they steal by devour-
ing the young grubs of the hive.
Beetles often initiate hornets, since
the latter are insects to which birds il
search of animal food prefer to give a
very wide berth. Even the mImicry of
singing insects is sometimes per-
| formed by innocent little creatures
quite destitute of any such means of
defence. 4 common insect, known i'll
England as the DEVILS coach-horse,
throws up Its tail in the aggressive
fashion of a scorpion, when irritated,
but it has no hint of sting. In its
warlike attitude it is exceedingly
alarming, not only TO boys and girls,
but to chickens and birds.
The bumble-bee flies, which are inof-
fensiye little creatures. initiating the
wild bee, fit about and buzz angrily
in the sunlight, quite after the insect
they copy, and gain an undeserved rep
utation of fierceness.
Certain beetles have become modified
to resemble waspS. even to the extent
of losing their solid waists for Others
OF ultra fashionable slenderness, and
others, which mimic bees have ac
quired useless little tufts of hair OF
their shanks, to represent the pollen
gathering apparatus of the true bees
A curious case of imitation is that ol
two species of Malayan orioles, which
are almost exact counterparts OF two
varieties of honey-suckers. The latte
are such fierce birds as to be avoided
by all their feathered neighbors, anC
thus the orioles find their own decep
tive plumage great protection.

Ways or Getting n Light.

The lanterns of the Greeks and Ro-
mans contained an oil-lamP. Its sides
were made of layers of horn, wazed
parchment, linen, or bladder.
Glass lanterns We're used in England
as early as 7O5. They were expensive,
however, and 1000 years later the tin
lantern was chiefly in use among the
poor people.
In the acropolis at Athens, according
10 historian, was a golden lamp so
large that when nlled 1t would bUrn
night and day for year. Above it was
bronze palm tree 10 carry OF its
fumes and act as a reflector.
The Chinese excel In the manufac-
ture of lanterns. They have used them
for ages. -. Some OF their rnandarins
have them built at i cost % thousands
of dollars each. The word built is not
out OF place here, for these lanternS
are twenty to thirty feet high and co.,
tain hundreds of candles. Their sides
are often of rich cOlOred silk.
"WhIIe i'll West Virginia recently, ;;
said a travelling man, ~ saw lamp
that was primitive enough. y saucer
was filed with grease and over the
edge of it hung a lighted wick. It
spluttered some, but made enough
light 20 render the darkness visible,
and its heat was sufficient 20 light the
pipes of the family. 1t was more used
for that purpose than any other, it aP-
peared to me, though it was the only
light in the house."
Lamp comes from a Greek word
lampas. The candles of Scripture are
supposed TO have been lamps IN which
olive oil was burned. The earliest
LAMPS were shallow vessels Of terra
Gotta, either round or Oblong In shape.
There waa a small opening in the top
in which the oil was poured; at one
side was Il handle and opposite nOZ-
zle, through which the wick protrudel.
This form of lamp is often represented
in pictures. Many of them were or
uamented with representations Of war
scenes or chaTiOt-Taces.

\ SENSIBLE WOMAN.
The Ecadiness With Which She
Understood a Financial Object
Lesson.

y man having large business inter-
ests and handsome income married a
lady who, accustomed all her previous
life TO the luxuries of wealth, had never
formed any clear conception of the
value and purchasing power of money.
For some months every whim, no mat
ter how extrayagant, was promptly
gratilied by the indulgent husband,
who always gave his check for any
amount of money asked. One day the
bride OF a few months to carry out
some caprice, requested a check for so
large a sum that the gentleman was
somewhat staggered thereby. He saw
that such prodigalIty, if persisted in,
meant ruin; but not wishing to grieve
hls wife by downright refusal, he
determined to give her an object lesson
in the financial line. Accordingly Y,
with a smile of seeming acquiescence.
he remarked that the supply of checks
was exhausted, but he would send up
the money from the office. About
noon the promised money came, not in
crisp $500 bills, as was expected, but
in sterling silver dollars, the sum total
filling several specie bags. The wife
was at first vexed and then amused,
and finally, before the afternoon wore
away, became deeply thoughtful.
When her better half came home to
supper she took him gently by the arm,
and, leading him into the hall, where
the ponderous bags CT specie were still
standing, said:
MY dear, is this the money 1 asked
you for this morningf"
SIT is, my love-" was the reply.
And did you have to take this al
in, dollar by dollar, in the course OF
your business?" was the next question.
YES, my deap; it represents the re-
suits of many weeks of hard labor"
he answered, gently.
well, then," she said, with fearful
eyes, ''send around man to take it
back to the bank in the morning.
can't use so much money for so trivial
a purpose"
